New Course Description: Modern dance technique heightens awareness of the expressive use of the body, builds physical, aesthetic and performance skills, and develops appreciation for the art form of dance. Creative expression, rhythm, movement patterns and dynamics are explored. An introduction to choreographic ideas may also be introduced. To be taken in sequence. May be repeated for credit. |

Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): The dance program is streamlining the naming and numbering system of the dance technique courses. We are removing the designations of beginning, intermediate and advanced levels to align with other university dance program practices. The multi-numbered course sections were originally created in order to allow students to repeat courses for credit. This is no longer necessary as courses may be repeated for credit as designated in the course catalog. |
|
Students/Program affected: These changes do not impact program offerings or requirements. It is a simplification of titles and numbers of courses. |
